Jordan, S.O. (author), Heusdens, R. (author)In this work, we analyse a stochastic version of the primaldual method of multipliers (PDMM), which is a promising algorithm in the field of distributed optimisation. So far, its convergence has been proven for synchronous implementations of the algorithm [1], [2]. Simulations have shown that PDMM also converges if it is implemented...conference paper 2022

(author)Corneal guttae, which are the abnormal growth of extracellular matrix in the corneal endothelium, are observed in specular images as black droplets that occlude the endothelial cells. To estimate the corneal parameters (endothelial cell density [ECD], coefficient of variation [CV], and hexagonality [HEX]), we propose a new deep learning...journal article 2022

Cardaioli, Matteo (author), Conti, M. (author), Ravindranath, A. (author)Voice messages are an increasingly popular method of communication, accounting for more than 200 million messages a day. Sending audio messages requires a user to invest lesser effort than texting while enhancing the message’s meaning by adding an emotional context (e.g., irony). Unfortunately, we suspect that voice messages might provide...conference paper 2022

(author)Scaling current quantum communication demonstrations to a large-scale quantum network will require not only advancements in quantum hardware capabilities, but also robust control of such devices to bridge the gap in user demand. Moreover, the abstraction of tasks and services offered by the quantum network should enable platform-independent...journal article 2022

van der Marel, M.P. (author), Rajan, R.T. (author)Formation control (FC) of multi-agent systems plays a critical role in a wide variety of fields. In the absence of absolute positioning, agents in FC systems rely on relative position measurements with respect to their neighbors. In distributed filter design literature, relative observation models are comparatively unexplored, and in FC...conference paper 2022

(author)Aims. Future actively cooled space-borne observatories for the far-infrared, loosely defined as a 1-10 THz band, can potentially reach a sensitivity limited only by background radiation from the Universe. This will result in an increase in observing speed of many orders of magnitude. A spectroscopic instrument on such an observatory requires...journal article 2022

Kiene, G. (author), GUNAPUTI SREENIVASULU, A.M. (author), Overwater, R.W.J. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)This paper reports the experimental characterization and modelling of a stand-Alone StrongARM comparator at both room temperature (RT) and cryogenic temperature (4.2 K). The observed 6-dB improvement in the comparator input noise at 4.2 K is attributed to the reduction of the thermal noise and to the suppressed shot noise in the MOS...conference paper 2022

Xu, F. (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)Altering the state of the stress of the subsurface reservoirs can lead fractures to slip and extend their lengths (i.e., to propagate). This process can even be engineered, in many applications, e.g., enhanced geothermal systems. As such, accurate and efficient simulation of the mechanical deformation of the subsurface geological reservoirs,...conference paper 2022

(author)MOTIVATION: Haplotypes are the set of alleles co-occurring on a single chromosome and inherited together to the next generation. Because a monoploid reference genome loses this co-occurrence information, it has limited use in associating phenotypes with allelic combinations of genotypes. Therefore, methods to reconstruct the complete...journal article 2022

(author), Shen, Jie (author)We study a Cooper pair transistor realized by two Josephson weak links that enclose a superconducting island in an InSb-Al hybrid nanowire. When the nanowire is subject to a magnetic field, isolated subgap levels arise in the superconducting island and, because of the Coulomb blockade, mediate a supercurrent by coherent cotunneling of Cooper...journal article 2022
